Original story: Travis Scott's second studio album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, showed up suddenly on Sept. 2; we're still bumping it. But La Flame waits for no one, as he's now surprise-dropped Days Before Birds, a 10-song, 31-minute companion piece.

The release's title mirrors Days Before Rodeo, the mixtape Travis dropped a year before his September 2015 debut Rodeo. What's crazy about Days Before Birds dropping out of the blue is that the Texas artist previously announced that Birds in the Trap... would be shortly followed by AstroWorld. And based on Trav's prolific nature, we're guessing it's still at least semi-imminent.
